Zimbabwe: Farming Surest Way of Busting Illegal Sanctions

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The success of A1 farmers is the surest way of busting illegal Western sanctions on Zimbabwe, the councillor for Ward 26 in the Zvimba Rural District Council, Cde Francis Mukwangwariwa (Zanu-PF), has said.

In an interview after donating inputs worth US$300 000 to his area yesterday, Cde Mukwangwariwa said support for A1 farmers was necessary for economic turnaround.

“These illegal sanctions have impacted negatively on the economy and we should come up with home-grown solutions to deal with this cancer.

“Agriculture is the mainstay of our economy and if A1 farmers are supported fully, they have the potential to bust the illegal Western sanctions,” he said.

About 1 500 small-scale farmers benefited from the inputs and the councillor promised to assist them with tillage before mid-December.

Cde Mukwangwariwa said Govern-ment should prioritise provision of farming inputs to farmers before making budget allocations for food imports.

“The nation is losing huge sums of money through importation of food. We are saying we should not import food when we have potential to grow enough for ourselves.

“If these inputs are put to good use we can do away with food shortages. We want to ensure that our people are empowered economically and become major stakeholders in the country’s economy.

Cde Mukwangwariwa, who is a member of Zanu-PF’s Zvimba East District Co-ordinating Committee, also thanked CBZ Bank for supporting farmers with loans.
